The Multicomponent PZT-Type Ceramics for Micromechatronic Applications

In the paper two compositions of the multi-component PZT-type ceramics admixtures by Mn⁴⁺, Sb³⁺, W⁶⁺, Ni⁶⁺ were presented. The ceramic powders were synthesized by the calcination of powders while their densification was carried out by free sintering method. The dielectric, ferroelectric, piezoelectric studies and DC electrical conductivity of the multicomponent PZT-type samples were presented. The results of the multi-component ceramics predispose these type materials in micromechatronic and microelectronic applications for example as element of the actuators.
